Worksop: Office block to be transformed into ‘luxury’ apartments

Guardian Reporter

A former office block in Worksop will be turned into 12 luxury apartments in a bid to attract young professionals to the area.

Nottingham-based Jenner Bailey bought the vacant office block on Potter Street in December 2014 after planning permission was granted in February this year.

The project, which is expected to take nine months to complete, finally began this month.

Managing director at Jenner Bailey, Arran Bailey, says that investing in Potter Street is a ‘fantastic opportunity’ to bring extra footfall to the area.

He said: “We already have several investments in Worksop and this opportunity was a natural progression for us. There is a lack of one and two bed luxury apartments in the area and this project will offer luxury accommodation for young professionals and help to create a positive image.

“The building is a vocal point for the market place in Worksop and we saw an opportunity to regenerate a building and bring it back into use. I always look to undertake projects that will lead to wider regeneration and I am sure that this project will benefit local residents and business owners.”

Mr Bailey added: “It has been a very busy few months for everyone at Jenner Bailey, we have invested wisely and have reaped some fantastic results from our projects.”
